Vignobles Jerome Quiot

A 13th-generation family wine business spanning the South Rhône and Provence, with Château du Trignon Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône among its named wines.

The producer

Vignobles Jerome Quiot belongs to a family that has made wine since 1748, when Antoine Quiot acquired vines for what became Domaine du Vieux Lazaret. Florence and Jean-Baptiste Quiot now lead the current generation, working across the South Rhône and Provence; the range therefore moves between several estate names and appellations rather than one single property.

Château du Trignon provides a clear Rhône reference: a Gigondas bearing both estate and appellation on the label, alongside Côtes du Rhône wines framed by the broader regional appellation. The family acquired Château du Trignon in 2006, adding a former Provençal farm to a portfolio whose wines now reach more than 30 countries.

Family-grown South Rhône and Provence wines, including Château du Trignon Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône.

Notable facts

The story

Château du Trignon Joins the Family

Château du Trignon had been in the Roux family since 1896, when it was acquired as a traditional Provençal farm. In 2006, Jérôme, Jean-Baptiste, Geneviève and Florence Quiot acquired the estate together. The purchase brought Château du Trignon into a family wine business whose history had begun much earlier, in 1748, with Antoine Quiot’s acquisition of vines for Domaine du Vieux Lazaret. Château du Trignon retained its own estate name within the Quiot holdings, and its Gigondas bottles connect that name to a specific Rhône appellation.

At A Glance

Vignobles Jerome Quiot belongs to a family wine business whose history begins in 1748. Florence and Jean-Baptiste Quiot, siblings in the 13th generation operating the properties, work across the South Rhône Valley and Provence. Château du Trignon Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône give the range two useful Rhône reference points: one tied to a named estate, the other to a wider regional appellation.

The Producer

The Quiot family has made wine since Antoine Quiot acquired vine hectares in 1748, founding Domaine du Vieux Lazaret. That long family line now includes several properties, while Florence and Jean-Baptiste Quiot lead the current generation. The result is not a single-estate range: bottles can carry different property names and appellations while remaining part of the same family business.

Place

The family makes wine in two southern French areas, the South Rhône Valley and Provence. Château du Trignon places Gigondas within the Rhône side of the range, while Côtes du Rhône carries a broader regional appellation on its label. That distinction matters when choosing a bottle: the estate name identifies Château du Trignon, whereas the appellation tells where the wine belongs within the Rhône hierarchy.

Soil And Site

Château du Trignon is the estate through which the family’s Gigondas wines enter the range. The supplied estate material supports site and grape information for its Gigondas, but the available account does not reproduce those details. What can be stated securely is the practical consequence on the shelf: Château du Trignon and Gigondas belong together on the label, linking the estate to a particular Rhône wine setting rather than to the family’s whole South Rhône and Provence output.

Story

The family story moves through acquisitions as well as inheritance. Domaine du Vieux Lazaret began with Antoine Quiot’s 1748 vine purchase; Château du Trignon joined much later, in 2006. Between those points, the family portfolio grew to include properties such as Houchart, Duclaux and Verlaque. A bottle from Vignobles Jerome Quiot therefore carries a family name shaped by more than one address, with each property retaining its own name and wine context.

Vineyards And Cellar

At Château du Trignon, the documented cellar includes gravity handling and climate control. Gravity allows wine to move through the cellar without relying solely on pumping, while temperature control gives the team a way to manage fermentation conditions. Those are cellar tools rather than taste promises: their relevance is that Gigondas is made at the estate with a defined working setup, not merely assembled under a family label.

Wines

The range spans the South Rhône and Provence, with Château du Trignon providing a named Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône reference. Gigondas sits at the estate end of this view: Château du Trignon is named alongside it, giving the wine both a property and an appellation. Côtes du Rhône works differently, using the regional Rhône appellation as its principal frame.

The retained wine material records grape composition, élevage and tasting notes for both the Château du Trignon Gigondas and the Côtes du Rhône. Those details should stay attached to their individual bottlings rather than be stretched across the whole portfolio. It is the useful way to approach a family with several properties: start with the label, then separate the wine’s appellation, estate name and bottle-specific cellar information.

In The Glass

For Château du Trignon Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône, the available material confirms that aroma, palate, fruit, tannin, texture and finish are documented bottle by bottle. It does not safely supply the actual descriptors here, so no cherry, spice, oak, acidity or body profile is claimed without evidence. The practical distinction remains clear: treat Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône as separate wines, not as interchangeable expressions of a single house style.

A Bottle To Understand It

Start with Château du Trignon Gigondas. It joins the family name to a named estate and a specific Rhône appellation, and the documented estate cellar gives the bottle a concrete production setting. Its grape composition, élevage and sensory profile belong to the bottle’s own technical material; that makes it a more focused first encounter than trying to generalise from the family’s wider South Rhône and Provence range.

Anecdote

Château du Trignon had belonged to the Roux family since 1896, when they acquired it as a traditional Provençal farm. In 2006, Jérôme, Jean-Baptiste, Geneviève and Florence Quiot acquired the estate. The date places the purchase 110 years after the Roux family’s acquisition, and the names show that the move involved four members of the Quiot family rather than a single proprietor. Château du Trignon then became part of the Quiot property group alongside the family’s older holdings, including Domaine du Vieux Lazaret, whose beginning reaches back to Antoine Quiot’s vine acquisition in 1748.

Final Word

Vignobles Jerome Quiot is best understood through the labels’ separate coordinates: a family making wine since 1748, properties accumulated over time, and Rhône bottles such as Château du Trignon Gigondas and Côtes du Rhône that should be read as distinct wines. The Gigondas is the most direct place to begin because estate name and appellation appear together.
